Black and Indigenous anarchy is different from white anarchy because of how settlers view individualism within the revolution. Black & Indigenous anarchists are looking for collective freedom with tribal leadership instead of the mass movement that communism is known for.
@sleepisocialist
calling this stuff always gets an โageismโ backlash from older people when in reality our laws shouldnโt be enforced by an entity who is in dire need of a rigid retirement age. We live in a dictatorship with โrulersโ who would be denied a drivers license out of safety concerns
i love that lesbianism is inherently trans. lesbianism rejects the foundation of western womanhood and creates an understanding of gender that can only be experienced through loving another non man
As a Black Native and someone who is also African American, I love the conversation my community is having about settlers. African Americans are not settlers. We did not invade and pillage. We were exploited.

Bullies need control so they grow up to be in caretaking fields such as SpED teachers, nurses, police officers, and government officials. They can legally take advantage of disenfranchised and ill people.
Disclaimer: Iโm speaking from personal experience w SpED teachers.
the reason why people come for Indigenous people hunting is that white supremacy has convinced people that having a relationship with the land and other animals is reserved for the few.
white anarchists do not understand tribal mindsets or collectivism so they tend to be hedonistic and have no grasp of why the discipline of the self is needed during a revolution. Structure and order are key factors in reaching a goal. They reject communismโs structure and
Jacqueline Keeler is racist and has been known to attack unrecognized tribes and Afro-Indigenous tribes such as the Lumbee. She goes after Black Natives and tries to get them to fix themselves as proof.
aaron bushnell was an anarchist. letโs not gloss over that. his self immolation was a direct action to state repression & endorsed genocide. it was not an act of โmental illinessโ. it wasnโt a plea for a ceasefire. it was a call for death to liberalism & american passivity.
alienate Black & Indigenous ideologies of freedom under anarchy. Communists are not the enemy of anarchists. If this rhetoric continues to spread, we will never be free.
โStudโ is a historically and exclusively Black queer term for a masc presenting woman. It was created to be separate from the term โbutchโ so please donโt use them interchangeably. Do not use โstudโ when referring to a non-Black masc-presenting woman. Thank you!
hey yโall. I lost my cousin to gun violence last night. it costs a lot to get home and it would be appreciated if yโall could send anything. my paylinks are in my bio. thanks so much.
not the โpresenting yourself in an androgynous way so ppl theorize if youโre queer in a neoliberal fashion in order to avoid accountabilityโ bullshit
it baffles me every year how half the country (North) is ready to throw away the other (South) because of things outside of a citizenโs control. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, id laws are all reasons why the south goes red even with a high population of marginalized people.
We are indigenous to Africa and like some Ndn tribes, our language, culture, and religion were stolen from us and beaten out of us. reservation schools had the same mindset: to kill the savage. African Americans are not colonizers. We are home. We know nothing but this land
@notcishet
itโs really upsetting :( & itโs exactly why aaron decided to film his act & email different news outlets so they couldnโt ignore it. itโs not as purposeful as it seems. his methods were built on the silence around her action. may she rest in power fr
@hologramvin
i think that both can exist: understanding that people need to piss and if theyโre not given a space to do that privately, they shouldnโt be penalized. However, the guy on my block who was jerking off in broad daylight was sexually harassing people.
Climate destruction is a genocidal tactic. From the tearing down of olive trees in Gaza to the destruction of the Amazonian rainforest, settlers have ripped and burned down the land as a way to control Indigenous people.
@glorydapotato
an audio book still counts. iโm in school for library science and our teachers like when someone listens to the audiobook for comparison
my blood boils when i hear โnot the time or placeโ from anyone besides the victim/survivor. all those enablers cared about false professionalism and keeping things quiet. Thereโs never a โrightโ time to express rightful anger in a monochronic capitalistic setting
yts have colonized a healthy relationship with the land and relabeled it as homesteading and insisted that you can only understand the land if it is supported by modern manifest destiny (moving to a remote area and isolating from the community). feeding a village by hunting
We made the best out of a terrible situation and to this day, the white government tries to kill us off. This is home and we love it as much as Natives do.
the way bi women rallied to defend a cishet man that they didnโt even know instead of supporting op shows how some of yโall view trans people, especially transfems, in the LGBT community
and harvesting doesnโt have to be limited to a rural community. creating a community through gathering and taking time to love the land while hunting is inherently ethical. it is true decolonization.
saying that AAVE is equivalent to Rez talk is so funny considering most Natives on the Rez are non-Black and refuse to accept the Afro-Natives who live there.
stop calling on rich celebrities. they are not our comrades. if they hated poverty, they wouldnโt hoard money. organizing barriers, talking to tenants, and make sure people can safely hold shit down is more important than buying it back
Twitter, we have an assignment.
A large section of a neighborhood is for sale in west Philly.
35 housesโwhere tenants liveโis for sale for $7 million.
Butโฆ.a celeb could buy these homes and make those tenants homeowners. Which celeb from Philly yโall think would do it?
@midwestbimbo
anti-intellectualism is rooted in a fascist government telling the proletariat (outside of pink collar workers) that reading & art are luxuries and inherently inaccessible. anyone who reads thinks theyโre better than the blue collar worker
@xyzaesthetic
exactly. thereโs different types of homelessness. Americans have a static Perception of what homelessness looks like. Australia has 3? definitions and Canada has 4 definitions that include couch surfing and transitional housing
@stefkaufman
the way white people in the west experience joy is anti-resistance. the individualistic materialism that WASPs and their cousins feed on fuels oppression.
to say that libraries of any kind are โinaccessibleโ shows that anti-intellectualism has reached a peak once again (McCarthyism being one of the most memorable ones). Libraries are inherently anarcho-communist spaces.
Free Puerto Rico!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Free Guam! Free the Virgin Islands! Liberation for the Samoan people! Liberation for the 16 colonized islands that the United States has stolen & tried to destroy!
@commiexmommie
i get that youโre talking about yts, but letโs be real here. labeling a blue collar โaestheticโ as racist is not cool. I donโt work on a barn anymore but i still wear stuff that emulates that lifestyle. if we wanna talk about โlooking racistโ, iโve experienced (1/2)
@yikesonbikesetc
Iโm not that surprised James Cameron has the gall to blame the residual effects from his ancestorsโ violence and his peopleโs continuous destruction on us when I think about the infantilization of Indigenous people in his movies & his desire to make a PG-13/R-rated โPocahontasโ
why is it always โBlack children need a mother and father in the homeโ and never โpeople shouldnโt raise kids alone, because kids/parents deserve a support system to lean onโ?
to imply that reservations are the only Native communities is an anti-Black and anti-Freedmen statement. Black Natives are ostracized on the Rez and in urban communities. We are not allowed at ceremony and we have had to fight to live on the land assigned to us.
@midwestbimbo
from an MLIS student perspective: people avoid books because they
1. are functionally illiterate and are afraid to challenge themselves
2. associate books with the upper class therefore creating an us vs them mentality with teachers/educators of all kinds
i have never seen actual โdiscourseโ go down on this website. i donโt even try to start discourse on here. i just discuss (that option is not on here) with mutuals what i want to discuss.
the use of blood quantum & enrollment is anti-Black. most Black Natives were forced off of the Rez & lived on the outskirts or in different citiesโbarring them from enrolling their children or having their own status taken away. Freedmen are not seen as Native, further degrading
Native communities are a community of Natives. It doesnโt matter if the community is urban, in an exurb, suburban, rural, etc. Community is a group of individuals with a common fact.
genuinely sucks that there are so many Blk non men who avoid organizing / revolutionary spaces because the facilitators refuse to decenter men and abusers. There are waaaaay too much organizations and collectives that snub survivors for the sake of numbers.
if youโre judging people, especially the poor, for being unvaccinated and exclaiming that they donโt deserve care, youโre also a eugenicist. everyone deserves healthcare, including those who make contrarian decisions.
put your money where your mouth is and join mutual aid groups! do community outreach. at least, talk to your neighbors and form a cadre. love your neighbor like you love your family.
East Tennessee and West NC is traditional Tsalagi land. แฃแแฉ people are going to suffer once again by environmental negligence. The Cherokee Forest has gone through enough
This is extremely fucking concerning to anyone living in or near the yellow area
The toxic waste from the derailment near East Palestine has already leaked into the Ohio River which provides water to 5 million people.
yโall gotta stop thinking about pregnancy with a man in mind. the best advice iโve ever heard from an elder was to โthink about pregnancy and child rearing as if you on your own because you can left alone w that baby at any timeโ & thatโs the damn truth
imagine ur 8 months pregnant and you have to get up everyday to go work a full time job bc you didnโt pick ur husband correctly. no, really think abt it.
some of yโall have turned covid precautions into a morality contest. anyone who doesnโt wear a KN95 mask 100% of the time inside, only eats at home, avoids social settings, and has had 6 booster shots is a good person. - someone who masks everywhere
children are an underclass & donโt have the power to oppress. thatโs why gender essentialist idiots sound dumb assigning harmful traits to children. boys are mean to girls bc theyโre watching men hurt women. itโs learned not inherent
@adinarising
and so many of our elder texts say that as well. in the stone butch blues, the amount of times a femme says her โbutchโ or her โdykeโ instead of girlfriend is proof alone
